good graphics, sfx and all, BUT the user interface is sluggish and broken by design: The further I move the mouse cursor away from the ship, the more I have to move it back towards the ship before the ship reacts. So I often move the mouse cursor a little bit and expect the ship to move accordingly. But instaead only my mouse cursor moves towards the ship and the ship does not move at all. It always breaks my flow to try to keep track of that "out of the box"-movement. In such a fast paced game, this is constantly frustrating and killing (at least) me. The alternative - that the ship moves instantly, without requiring the mouse cursor over it, probaly also has disadvantages. But in that case, if there is no good solution, flash may not be a platform for breakout style games at all. I wonder why you made one anyway.

Really nice game, deserves a much higher rating than it has! Also if you hold down the left mouse button then the ship moves even if the cursor is outside the screen.

Something to keep in mind, is that unlocking levels is about increasing your combined level score, and not just for the level previous.

Its impossible for a human to clear any numbered level. Some times the ball bounces so slow- if it was always insanely frenetic then maybe with quick reflexes and a good deal of luck but as it is impossible except for the practice level.

Nice idea, but the timer is annoying and I would prefer keyboard controls in this case. It's too easy to move the cursor out of the screen and thus lose control.

Got to admit i didn't find this game to my liking, the balls movements seems to predestined, and it's very hard to vlear the board. An excellent idea of allowing you too shoot all your pinballs at once though, and it has got a lot of potential if it got more thorougly worked

Good graphic, nice scurvy/gameboy music, a little difficult but the gameplay and style of Arkanoid still remains fresh and fun... And not even 3 stars? C'mon, people, I've seen worst games with 4 stars, just because there was some Kawai Jap characters...

i think the paddle should hurl the balls further. Otherways, in the late part of the game, you just patch the balls up again and again and they just don't reach anything, which kinda annoys :/

I think you need rubber balls instead of steel ones as the sever lack of bounce makes it tedious to clear a level. I can't even clear level 1 as balls just bounce in place or move WAAYYYYYY to slow.

the description should read "Nothing can stop your steel balls when it comes to getting booty! Arrr!" instead, just for lulz

Its a good game but the FPS drop kills it for me. I like the premise of game but if it doesnt run smoothly it can't be a 5/5.

the full screen feature does not work for me, and the paddle tends to lag a bit behind the cursor and not move smoothly, making the game harder

how about an upgrade system? maybe the coins that you get can be spent on 'slow motion' or a 'bigger bounce'r for a period of time....give me a reason to continue to play

This just happen, a ball got stuck between 2 orange bouncy thing, until the game ends, while i was juggling the other 2 balls, got insanely high score on lvl 3. Now 2nd in all time highscore. Pure luck

The art and music are great and I normally like arkanoid-type games, but… the player has no pretty much no control of the ball here. The speed is too damn hectic for such a small screen estate. And I'd like an option for keyboard-controls.

Game looks nice but it's a brick breaking game. I find it very boring overall - sorry. I'm sure some people really enjoy this kind of game but it's really not for me. 2/5 only becase brick breaking games are dull and although the graphics are nice - I do not feel compelled to play more than the 2 minutes I have already spent on it.

Woo, third top score of all time on first go! Didn't even realise the gauntlet only gave you three balls total until I lost two of them on the second last level.

How can i possibly get 250k? I consider myself a decent gamer and can barely get to 150k, not losing a single ball. Related to lag, perhaps?

Couple things that this game needs in order for it to be enjoyable: 1. Upgrades/powerups 2. An easy way to view score needed to pass the level while playing that level. 3. Untimed mode versus timed mode, or more time per level and eventually 4. More levels. Hope you keep working on this so you can get a better rating. 2/5 right now.

The timer sucks, if you would let it be just lives limit with no timer it might be possible, but alas, there is a timer, and im stuck on lvl 2, 3/5
